  • In this video, I show you how to use an abacus. Believe it or not, an abacus is actually a really useful tool for doing Mathematical equations. It can actually be used to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. It is basically how people used to do Math before there was pencil and paper and before calculators were around. I believe that every single person should know how to properly use one, so I decided to make this tutorial showing you exactly how to use one to do basic and advanced Mathematical operations!

      I'm 71 and I remember ONE teacher introducing the Abacus to the class, and we never heard from it again. We were discouraged from counting on our fingers, so I guess the Abacus was a no-no, too.

    This was a fabulous, easy to follow explanation of how to use an abacus. Using a 10 bead frame definitely made it easier to follow the the process for multiplication and division. The Japanese and Chinese abacus are based on the same principle it’s just the way assign value to the beads is slightly different (needing less beads). The Chinese abacus can use a hexadecimal base as well as a 10 base.

    Thank you very much for your hard work🙏. None of the other tutorials I watched showed any help. Like they just tell us what is an abacus, what it's name means, it's history and all other useless things😒. Your'e tutorial is the only video I understood and I hope you will be able to help more begginers in the future. You earned yourself a subscriber.

    Very good video! I only recently found my interest and love for both the 10bit(bead) abacus as well as the soroban. You explained division very well, I like that. My brain on multiplication does to not count the beads on top from your left to right, but rather sets them in the first place and then I reduce them while multiplying from right to left, because in multiplication there can't be a rest left! So I stop once the top is "clear" and the bottom shows the result. With division I do it like you showed it, because then you can easily read how many times a number went into another. Maybe this helps someone, kudos!

    • @D-me-dream-smp

      Since you assign each row/bar a decimal spot you can just assign the rows a decimal position less than zero like bottom row is .01 next row 0.1
